Divorce and family mediation is a client-centered, out of court process by which couples meet with a neutral professional to create their own unique voluntary settlement of their divorce, separation, or family dispute. It is the "Golden Apple" in terms of a divorce process, because it is extremely cost effective and clients retain control over their case. Jo Ann Shartrand has been a divorce mediator since 1996, and she is accredited by the New York State Council on Divorce Mediation because of her vast experience and education. She has conducted more than 700 mediations in the past 20 years.
